I have a folder on my Debian server at /mnt/Pool/Photos
which I want to exactly sync with a folder in Dropbox at /Photos
. This allows me to have my photos locally stored for easy access, but also backed up to the cloud. I don't want anything else from my Dropbox on the computer (ie selectively sync /Photos
only)
The way I tried to do this was installing Dropbox on Debian, excluding everything from sync, making a symlink to /mnt/Pool/Photos
in the /Dropbox
folder and then selectively including /Photos
to sync, however Dropbox now doesn't support symlinks. Dropbox ended up creating a second folder Photos (Debian conflicted with at...)
and then started redownloading the whole folder instead of recognising it was already there.
How can I go about setting what I want up (a sync of just one folder with Dropbox that already exists)?
